Atlantic Jazz Nights: World-Class Afro Cuban Jazz
Arts & Culture Centre Presentation Series
Featuring:
Michael Rodriguez & Adam Cruz with hosts Florian Hoefner and Jim Vivian
SYNOPSIS:
The final Atlantic Jazz Nights concert of this season brings two outstanding musicians from the New York jazz scene to St. John’s for a night inspired by the rhythms of Cuba.
Trumpeter Michael Rodriguez, known for his work with Quincy Jones, Chick Corea, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, ranks among the most versatile and in-demand voices in jazz today.
Joining him is Adam Cruz, one of the most creative drummers of his generation, celebrated for his collaborations with Danilo Pérez, Tom Harrell, and Chris Potter. Modern Drummer Magazine praises Cruz for “pairing flawless technique and a crystalline touch with a level of prophetic intuition that is awe-inspiring.”
Together with Atlantic Jazz Nights artistic directors Florian Hoefner (piano) and Jim Vivian (bass), Rodriguez and Cruz form a powerhouse quartet—promising an evening of virtuosity, fiery interplay, and the exhilarating fusion of Cuban rhythms and modern jazz.
